These precautionary measures should also be exercised when working near the vehicle’s engine.
THE BUTLER SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL
• The machine is capable of providing a spray or stream of pressurized water and/or liquid solution that can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. Do not allow the spray or stream of pressurized solution from any tool (wand, upholstery tool, simulator nozzle, etc.) to be directed at any person or animal. Do not place your hand over the end of any tool (wand, upholstery tool, simulator nozzle, etc.). Do not use the spray or stream of pressurized solution to clean off clothes while they are on a person, as this may lead to accidental injection. In case of accidental injection, seek medical attention immediately. • DO NOT allow vacuum to contact any part of a person’s or animal’s body. Damage to skin tissues or other vascular structures may be severe, if contact is promoted or prolonged. • The unit is capable of producing a high pressure heated solution in excess of 190°F. • Fluids under pressure can be dangerous. Extreme caution must be exercised when working with fluids under pressure. Hoses should be inspected frequently and special attention must be paid to all high-pressure hoses. If any part of a hose has shown damage, deteriorated, distorted, kinked, worn, hardened, cracked, charred, swollen, bubbled, softened, degraded, shows any sign of fitting slipping on hose, corrosion of fitting, leaks, bulges, cuts, gouges, cover is abraded or loose, or any reinforcement exposed, repair or replace hose immediately. • It is important to maintain your vehicle in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. • NEVER connect or disconnect battery cables unless the ignition switch is in the LOCK/OFF position. ALWAYS connect or disconnect the NEGATIVE side of the battery first. Refer to vehicle owner’s manual. • The Butler Corporation does not advocate that maintenance or repairs to the Butler System or vehicle be performed by personnel who do not possess the required know how, tools and/or equipment. • For vehicle reliability and safety, it is important that the continual monitoring of the following systems be routinely performed: tires, brakes, exhaust system, all fluid levels, belts and filters, etc. • Air bag sensors, diagnostic components, fuse box, wiring harnesses and related parts are located under the driver and passenger seats. Should any of these items or components be exposed to moisture or show signs of rust and/or corrosion, they should be inspected by your dealer and repaired or replaced immediately. • Ensure that the vehicle’s exhaust fumes are not directed toward any open window, door or ventilation inlet, as asphyxiation may occur. • Never park the vehicle in an enclosed area with the engine running. • If any abnormal noises are heard, immediately shut OFF machine and/or vehicle’s engine. DO NOT PROCEED. Call our Service Department or your local repair facility for further assistance. • For vans, cube vans, trucks and/or units that are not specifically addressed, please call our Service Department for further assistance.
• Fully read, understand and follow all instructions, warnings, cautions, notices and notes in this Owner’s Manual prior to starting or operating unit. • Fully read, understand and follow these and all other instructions, warnings, cautions and notes in the vehicle owner’s manual. • NEVER connect or disconnect battery cables unless the ignition switch is in the LOCK/OFF position. ALWAYS connect or disconnect the NEGATIVE side of the battery first. Refer to vehicle owner’s manual. • The Butler Corporation does not advocate that maintenance or repairs to the Butler System or vehicle be performed by personnel who do not possess the required know how, tools and/or equipment. • To help prevent vacuum/blower seizure, continue operating the vacuum/blower for 5–10 minutes to allow the internal lobes and exhaust system to dry thoroughly. • DO NOT USE the vehicle’s heater or A/C system while the machine is in use. • If your vehicle cannot be parked in a heated garage during the winter months, and the temperature is expected to be below freezing (32°F), you must WINTERIZE the Butler System. • Whether heating the interior of the vehicle or not, it is RECOMMENDED that you winterize the entire Butler System (including optional equipment). Cold temperatures surrounding the vehicle could penetrate and freeze the components, or a heater failure could occur without your knowledge. • Use ONLY windshield washer anti-freeze fluid! Windshield washer anti-freeze may contain dye that can permanently stain. Be sure to thoroughly flush out all anti-freeze from components after winterizing. • DO NOT use ethylene or propylene glycol-based, radiator-type anti-freeze. • Foam pipe insulation should be installed on the braided Stainless Steel Hose (1060) and the High-Pressure Hose (3068) from the machine to the High-Pressure Hose Reel (if so equipped), as well as the Auto Pump-Out Hose, behind recovery tank (if so equipped). This should be done regardless of whether you are or are not going to winterize the machine at the end of your daily cleaning schedule. Insulation will help protect these hose(s) from freezing during the daily cleaning schedule.
THE BUTLER SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL
NOTICES: Before operating unit or starting any procedure involving this unit, fully read, understand and follow all instructions, warnings, cautions and notices outlined in this Owner’s Manual. These instructions, warnings, cautions and notices may not be all-inclusive and are supplemental to standard working procedures and safety precautions. It is important that you familiarize yourself and comply with all municipal, county, state and federal regulations regarding the legal and proper registration, inspections and equipment that is required to be displayed and carried when operating a commercial vehicle. To operate this unit, you must be familiar with all aspects of the unit and its operations. It is important that you familiarize yourself and comply with all municipal, county, state and federal regulations regarding the legal and proper disposal of any and all fluids, including, but not limited to – water, recovered water, cleaning products, windshield washer anti-freeze fluid, solutions, etc. Numbers (example: 3000) indicate components on schematic. The unit has been equipped with a Park Interlock System. It is designed to interrupt the Butler System from “engaging” if the vehicle’s shift selector HAS NOT been placed in the PARK (P) position. The unit is provided with a security door (unless otherwise requested) so that the system can be operated with all vehicle doors and windows closed and locked. Do not place the high-pressure hoses across a lawn or shrubs. The heat created will damage plants. The brass quick disconnects and solution hoses will become very hot. Be aware of their location and keep them away from objects that could be damaged by heat. Check that the vehicle’s hot exhaust has ample clearance from any objects or obstructions (i.e. leaves, shrubs, autos, structures, etc.), or damage may occur. It is the owner’s/operator’s responsibility to analyze the conditions for which the vehicle will be used, equalize the weight distribution and ensure that when adding Payload the vehicle manufacturer’s weight ratings are not exceeded. It may be necessary to relocate or to remove some of the Payload to comply with the vehicle manufacturer’s GVWR, GAWR and/or GCWR. Load heavier items behind the rear wheel wells in the rear cargo area. Do not load upper storage compartments with heavy items. Use tie downs to secure the load. In cube vans and trucks use the right rear area for heaviest items before loading other storage area compartments. Vehicle weight and axle weights can be measured at a commercial scale or a federal or state weigh station. The vehicle manufacturer’s wheel alignment was performed at the factory when the vehicle was empty of cargo and may not be correct for the final weight and the distribution of weight being carried. Vehicle manufacturers recommend that a re-alignment be performed when the vehicle is loaded with the weight it will regularly be carrying and with the weight distributed in the vehicle as it would normally be transported.
Be alert and extremely careful at all times. These warnings, cautions, notices and notes may not be all-inclusive and are supplemental to standard working procedures and safety precautions. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors which cannot be built into any product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) who operates, works with, maintains, services or repairs this unit. IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE ABOVE PROCEDURES AND THE MACHINE IS NOT PERFORMING NORMALLY, PLEASE CALL OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. USE CAUTION AND OPERATE SAFELY AT ALL TIMES.
THE BUTLER SYSTEM’S INTENDED USE The Butler System is intended to be used, solely, for wet cleaning carpet, fabrics and hard surfaces. Any adaptation or modification to the Butler System, or if the Butler System is used for any purpose other than its original intended use, will void the Butler System warranty.
PARTS AND COMPONENTS PROVIDED BY THE BUTLER CORPORATION Parts and components provided by The Butler Corporation are not to be used for any purpose other than their original intended use and must be installed by qualified persons who possess the knowledge, skill, tools, hardware, and/or equipment to perform the installation. Replacement parts and components supplied by The Butler Corporation are intended, solely, for the original Butler System and the original vehicle, in which the Butler System was installed. These parts and components are not to be used to create, supplement, repair, etc. any other machine or for any Butler System that has been removed from the original vehicle in which it was installed. The Butler Corporation, its agents, representatives and assigns accept no liability whatsoever for the improper application, installation or the unintended use of parts or components. Do not use or operate the Butler System/vehicle if you tire easily, are subject to fainting, are using medicines that may cause drowsiness, are under the influence of alcohol or are otherwise impaired.
INTERIOR RUST AND CORROSION Water and cleaning product leaks or spills can cause severe rust and/or corrosion to your Butler System and vehicle. The manufacturer’s cargo area mat and padding were removed and replaced with a water and chemical-resistant floor covering when your Butler System was installed (unless otherwise requested). This covering was chosen for its ability to allow leaks or spills to dry more rapidly, helping to reduce rust and/or corrosion to the Butler System and vehicle’s cargo area. The mat and padding supplied by the manufacturer in the driver and passenger compartment was not removed. The padding that remains under the existing mat can absorb and retain moisture that will cause rust and/or corrosion to accelerate. Therefore, these areas should be dried immediately to help limit rust and/or corrosion. Important: air bag sensors, diagnostic components, fuse box, wiring harnesses and related parts are located under the driver and passenger seats. Should any of these items or components be exposed to moisture or show signs of rust and/or corrosion, they should be inspected by your dealer and repaired or replaced immediately. See your vehicle dealer for details. THE BUTLER SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL
